Totally gorjuss dt

First i gotta tell you i havent made a card for Totally gorjuss in such a long time, and now that i am back to making cards for the challenges i am hoping that some of my followers will be inspired to play along with us.

You can use any image, just follow the theme for the challenge and join in the fun! There are some super prizes up for grabs, and this week we are being sponsored by Crafters companion. Our challenge this week is something "Fuffy", you can add anything fluffy to your card.

Colored with my copics, she was also given loads of selected stickles, cut out and popped, for a bit of dimension. There have been loads of tutorials on this box/ book cards around, however there measurements were all wrong for me as most of them ended up being a strange measurement, so cos i like my cards to stay 15cmX15cm or 6"X6" i just came up with my own measurements. I thought this would be a really nice gift to add a nice slab of chocolate some candy to for someone special.

The dp is from Joy craft, partnered with bazil and some gingham that i have in my stash. The die that our little Tilda is perched on is a Marianne die, and all the flowers ribbon, garlands and pearls are from my stash.

i had to use my personalised stamp that Mo Manning designed just for me on the back to give that personalised feel, dontcha just love this?
Hope everyone is having a great weekend, see you soon

Another stunning little masterpiece, m'dear!! You always have something new up your sleeve...and this is just as precious as can be! I love how you paired pink with yellow! Your DPs and embellies perfectly frame this little sweetheart!! Hugs. Pat

An absolutely beautiful card/box Paola, I love pink and lemon together, such a pretty combination, and I love the gingham paper and especially the doily die, that is my favourite die to use on my own cards. I love it!

Oh, my BFF. This is so gorgeous! Even though I saw it on skype, this picture is so much clearer! Your layout is stunning! Your coloring is fabulous, and the papers are divine! Now that you've told me how easy this candy box is to make, I will have to give it a try. You are always challenging me to work outside my all too comfortable box. I'm off skype for the day, so I'll give you a call tomorrow - if the girls cooperate....Hugs from Texas,Barb

A slab of chocolate is always a winner. Do you know what we mean by slab in the US? We are talking about a good size piece the thickness of marble or granite - now that is a slab. Love your project Paola and your coloring is divine!!HugsSandy
